Re: A NEW ERA

Any idea when this will appear on the NFL Network? Can't wait to see, tired of looking at individual clips on their site...want to see the whole deal with music and all.

I would guess late-summer they will be ramping-up the coverage of the various training camps, and also the highlight reels.... I seem to recall that last August they had a big push with all of them the two weeks leading up to opening day.

.... I agree with all the sentiments!... Man, there are times when I actually get goosebumps when they're shown!

i agree. there is nothing like a steelers montage to get my blood pumping

Amen to that!! And it doesn't matter how many times I've seen the highlight...it STILL gets me pumped!

Actually, for me it doesn't even have to be the Steelers...when ESPN starts showing the season highlight reels of ANY team my pulse starts pounding![/quote:128zgsoo]

Re: A NEW ERA

I don't understand the confusion here. When they start showing the season highlights on ESPN it means the NFL is coming. The team doesn't matter...sure I get more jacked for the Steelers highlights, but still...NFL team highlights mean things are right around the corner.

Think of it this way...when you were a kid and you heard the ice cream truck you knew something good was coming and eventually you were going to get what you wanted. So you got excited.

Same thing.

Just kidding with ya "D"..........but I know the season's coming when I see the other team's videos pop up on my TIVO. Actually sitting through 22 minutes of a John Facenda imitator telling me that the Stains are headed for greatness isn't necessary to impart that knowledge.

I know everyone is kidding but I think what I'm trying to express is lost on some.

And some of the fun in watching the sucky teams' highlights is seeing how they spin it. Hey, we were 8-8 a few seasons back....

Re: A NEW ERA

stlrz, I posted this over on the "general discussion" forum, but alot of folks don't get over there.... It's not as good as a Steeler highlight reel, but George Carlin can add an interesting perspective to football....
